Abstract

It explores theoretical assumptions pertaining to driving behaviour (safe and risky) and changes in the cognition of impaired drivers, as well as describing the latest sociodemographic trends.
AIMS: To describe the demographic and personal characteristics of drivers who had their driving licences withdrawn because of their drink driving and compare these drivers with safe drivers.
